Restoration of confidence means a
restoration of business and activity
in inoii?y circles, and tbat means
l?et;ei times for. the business maii,
tlie mechanic, the laborer and the
country in general. Such a condition
of affairs may reasonably be expected
at an early day.
President Cleveland, recognizing
the serious financial condition of tlie
country, has issued the following
proclamation :
Executive Mansion, /
W wiim.ton. I). C.June 30, I8?3.)
Whereas, the distrust and apprehension
concerning the finaucial situation which
pervade all business circles have already
caused great loss and damage to our peo?
ple, and threatens to cripple our merch?
ants, stop the wheels of manufacture,
bring distress and privation to our farm?
ers and withhold from our workingmcn
the wages of labor; and
W iLKUKAS, tlie present perilous condition
is largely ihe result of a financial policy
which the executive branch of the gov?
ernment finds embodied in unwise laws
which must lie executed until repealed by
eongross ; now.
TniiP.KKOKK, I, lirover Cleveland. Presi?
dent of (he Tinted Stales, in the perform
anecot constitutional duty, do, by this
proclamation, declare that tiie extraordi?
nary occasion requires the convening ol
bolii houses of Congress of the United
Slates, 'i the Capital, in the citv of
VV? liiiigt oh, on the 7th day of August
next, al 1'2 o'clock noon, to the end Unit
ili.' [moplc may be relieved through legis- |
latioiffrom the present and impending
danger and distress. All those entitled
t.. ;i- members of (he lilty-third Con-I
gres.^ are required to take notice of tins
proclamation and attend at the time and
place above slated.
(oven under my hand and the seal of
the Tailed States, at the city of Washing?
ton, on the 30th day of June, in the year
of our Lord, one thousand, eight hundred
and ninety-three, and of the independ?
ence of the United States the one hun?
dred and seventeenth.
I?aovmi Clkvkl.ss\>.
l\ is understood that Mr. Clove
land was induced to call this extra
se noli the iirst week in August in
stead of the hist week in September
?as formerly announced?on being
assured that the chances were favora?
ble for the immediate repeal of the
Sheinian law.
W hat is needed, what the country
demands and wdiat we must have is
a change of some kind in the laws
governing the finance of the United
Stau ? before we can hope to see the
great wheels of commerce again re?
volving smothly. For many mouths
that fatal financial disease?lack of
confidence?has, like a terrible
scourge, been spreading itself from
center to circumfrence of the United
States, till today every state, seel ion,
molded corporation and individual
interest is suffering from its evil
effect*
Under certain circumstances the
Sherman silver purchasing law might
be a good policy to pursue, but it
won't answer for today : a large ma?
jority of the people have it firmly
fixed in their minds that it is the
prime cause of the present business
stagnation, therefore nothing short
of its repeal will bring about a better
condition of aftairs.
Since the call by the President for
an extra session of Congress the
feeling in financial circles is reported
in an improved condition, and lack
of confidence is gradually giving way
to a greater activity in business.
ITS G?EAT CLOUDS
OF HLACK SMOKE ASCEND
HEAVENWARD.
And With a Smile that is Childlike
and Bland, the Appalachian Furn?
ace Looks Down Upon Her Idle
Sisters and Inquires, "Why Can't
You Make Iron at a Profit the
Same as I Can ? "
We are glad to announce that the
furnace is again in blast. The men
were alj paid off in full yesterday
anil v ry ?oon the fires under the
immense boilers-began to glow and
d o clock the ponderous engines Lie?
gau to revolve and the blast was put
on again. The furnace has been
banked for about five weeks and it is
a tribute to the great ability of Ed?
ward * J. Bird that within twelve
hours after the blast was on the
metal began again to How front the
furnace, i
General U. A. Avers was appoint
oil Receiver for the Appalachian
Steel A: Iron Company on the 21st
of May and immediately commenced
making.arrangements to start it up
again, lie found that the men hail
not been paid for two months with
no money ou hand to pay them or
Operate the furnace.
It seemed almost hopeless to at?
tempt to raise money in the: then
depressed condition of the
market, but Gen'l Avers rarely ever
permits trie word fail to enter into
his calculations.
Heat once recognized that to ob?
tain the money necessary to operate
the furnace, he must show clearly
that it could be operated at a profit.
To do this it was necessary to se?
cure reduction in cost of raw mate?
rial and transportation.
The coke producers and railroad
companies readily acceeded to his
request for reductions, and the cost
of limestone and ore were also re?
duced.
With this showing <?cn'l Ayers
was enabled to obtain and nego
ti.it?* receivers certificates and the re
suit is the furnace is again in blast
under conditions which insure a
profit, ( \en in the present depress?
ed condition of the market.

WASHINGTON LUVTEK.
(Port's Regular Coirespouuerrt:)
Washington, July !l, ISM.
Editor Pout:
The proclamation of the President
calling Congress to meet in ex Ira
session, on Angus! 7. was the
twelfth of its kind since the founda?
tion of the government, ami the
third calling Congress together es?
pecially to deal with financial mat?
ters, the first having been, called by
President Van Bnrcn to inert Sep?
tember 4, 1837, on account of the
suspension of specie payments, and
the second by President William
Henry Harrison, who died before it
met, to meet May 31, 1841, to deal
with the threatening condition of the
country's finances and revenues.
This being the case it i> not to be
wondered at that extra session talk
has dwarfed everything else since
the proclamation was made public.
There is no difference in public
oninion, so far as it is represented at
Washington, and it is unusually
well represented for the season of the
year, as to'the necessity for Con?
gressional action, but when it comes
to defining what particular action it
shall be there are many differences
not marked, however, by political
bias, but by personal opinion. No
mcber of the administration claims
that the unconditional repeal of the
Sherman Silver law is certain, al?
though a table has been made which
shows a ma jority of 21 in the House
for repeal, but that is what the ad?
ministration hopes for, and will work
for. It will ask that a bill repeal?
ing it be rushed through as soon a>
the organization of the House is com?
plete and that the question of a sub?
stitute dealing with silver be left for!
future action, and if a count oi' noses
shows that it cannot be repealed it
will ask that a resolution authoriz?
ing the President to suspend the sil?
ver purchase clause of the law be
passed. The acknowledged obstacle
to the carrying out of this program
is the free coinage majority known
to exist in the- Senate; but one of the
free coinage inen?Senator Vorhees
?is already an outspoken advocate
of the unconditional repeal of the
Sherman law, and mysterious hints
are given by friends <d' the adminis?
tration of other free coinage Sena?
tors who will vote the same way.
{ The silver men are organizing lor
the light of their lives and the ma?
jority in the Senate which is a stumb?
ling block to the administration pro?
gram is regarded by them as an im?
pregnable fortress from which will be
dictated the only terms by which any
financial legislation can get through
the Senate. They say that they
j have no special love for the Sherman
j law, but that if they should agree to
its unconditional repeal they would
never be able to get any satisfactory
legislation afterwards, as the coun?
try would then be practically if not
actually upon a single standard gold
basis, just where the opponents of
silver wish to get it. Vor the rea?
son they will oppose cither {iie re?
peal of the entire la w or the suspen?
sion of the silver purchase clause, un?
less accompanied by silver legislation
that is satisfactory to them, and if
silver legislation be included it will
lose the votes of many Senators and
representatives who would vote for
either proposition, standing alone.
1 That is tlie exact Situation as it i.>
I figured out here todav. five weeks
! is sometimes as long as a life time.
! .
j when judged by accomplishments,
'audit mav be that irreal chanircN
J will take place before Congress gets
I together, or that alter its meeting
personal conference will bring those
together who are now wide apart.
While these things are possible,
there are not visible at this time any
indications pointing to enough
changes among the Senators who
are on record as free coinage men to
warrant any strong belief in them.
It looks now as though the House
would pass a bill repealing the Sher?
man law and that the Senate would
send the bill back to the House with
a free coinage amendment, and that
nothing but a compromise of some
sort in which both sides will have to
make concessions can break the
deadlock and secure financial legisla?
tion. After all there would be noth?
ing strange or unusual in such an
outcome of the present situation, as
nearly all of the important legisla?
tion ever adopted by Congress has
been the result of compromises be?
tween what was demanded by the
radicals on both sides.
There is ntnch diversity of opinion
about the probable length of the ex?
tra session as there is about what it
will do. Some think that it will
confine itself to financial matters and
others that it will go into general
legislation. The Senat* is already
orgauir.ed and will be ready to get
right down to business: th<3 day it
meets. The Mouse will have to or
ganize, but as there will practically
be no opposition to tlie reelection of
( 'risp as Speaker, and as lie lias
probably already selected the princi?
pal chairman of committees, it
ought not to require much time.
There may be a protracted fight
however, over the new rules, as the]
silver men will resist the proposed
curtailment of the rights of the mi?
nority. The fight over this proposi
will in reality be the beginning ??!*
the silver fight, and if- length is
duubtiui ;
While the Post does ifoi rejoice at
other people's and other town's mi--:
fortunes, still it, does rejoice over the I
fact that Big Stone Gap's furnace can
nfh and make money even while oth- i
er furnaces arc forced to stand idle, j
The trouble is, our unfort unate friends i
have made a mistake in locating
their towns as well as their furnaces.
They should all have come to I'i ?
Stone Gap.
